Chicken Cranberry Walnut Pizza with Goat Cheese | The Chef Next Door

No matter the time of year, I'm always in the mood for pizza. It's part of our weekly routine to get pizza delivery sometime during the weekend, whether it's Friday or Saturday night depends on our schedules. I really enjoy making homemade pizza too, so sometimes I'll do that instead. I enjoy changing the toppings up - it could be just cheese or pepperoni, other times I'll make BBQ Chicken or Chicken Alfredo. It's fun to put some twists on the traditional toppings.

Recently I decided to create a new pizza that symbolized Fall. Not the usual pumpkin, sweet potato, apple flavors that I've been working with a lot lately. I wanted something different. Going with cranberry was the best decision I made for this pizza! Delicious cranberry sauce is the base, topped with shredded chicken, walnuts, crumble of goat cheese and fresh rosemary. That pizza has Fall written all over it! 

Roasted Vegetable & Goat Cheese Sandwich

Warm roasted vegetables and creamy goat cheese are the perfect combination for this light and delicious sandwich!

I'm seriously considering starting a weekly feature on the blog for lunch recipes. Especially lunches for one. Since I've worked from home for so long, I'm used to eating lunch alone. Some days it's just a turkey sandwich, some days it's a bowl of cereal (yes, it's true), but other days I'm craving a nice, hearty lunch. Something delicious and healthy, but not too difficult or time consuming to make. 

Last month I shared one of my favorites, this Rigatoni with Kale and Tomatoes in Brown Butter. I literally could eat that dish every single day. It's that good. But because I like variety, I thought I'd create a few more easy lunches to have on hand.

Leek, Arugula and Goat Cheese Frittata

This fresh, beautiful frittata just screams Spring and is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light meal!


Although it's been quite cold here in Michigan this last week, the sun has been shining almost every day and the snow has all melted. It's lovely to look outside and see blue skies and bright sun! Even though it's cold, the sun makes it feel so much warmer. And I know the warm temperatures are coming our way soon.

My Spring is already off to a great start and I have some exciting news to share with you all....I recently partnered up with Door to Door Organics (DTDO) and I am now a DTDO Brand Ambassador!
